Awesome, it sounds good Is that Drumkit from Hell plugin? It sounds pretty tight, I like it overall. Have you heard Bulb? www.soundclick.com/bulb . He's an amateur sound engineer, but his mixes are awesome

Keep up the good work man :D What software are you using to mix?

Actually Bulb uses Drumkit Superior 2.0 now Its like 16 gigs of pure drumming recordings :o

My bro is really into recording, getting into Messggah forums, and learning to mix as well. Heres some samples of his work www.soundclick.com/albertocartin

Song is In Flames, lacks depth/dynamics
I understand I´m not the target audience.

Soundwise OK

I have PodXT aswell, it´s okay but Metal Shop is a must for heavier stuff.
Good luck with your project!

I listened to it on ipod earbuds, obv. not the best...but the only issues i had were that in my opinion the bass drum is too clicky, and the lead part starting at ~2:03 might be a little loud. Nothing major tho, i think it sounds pretty good

Ugh that kick is a bit annoying actually, i think a light Low Pass Filter would help the clickiness.

Also the ending note of the song was too short, maybe 1.3x the length would be good. Also make sure to keep the lower voices sustained a little longer than the upper voices when you end. You might want to try adding some more reverb into the mix so it trails off when you cut out the instruments too. It makes the song sound a bit more "alive."

the whole thing seems to be rather compressed and it suffers from that but that's what you gotta do to compete in the LOUDNESS WARS.

Sounds pretty good, The kick is a TINY bit clicky, but only just, don't squash it.

I would see if I could get a bit more treble on the lead if it was me, to help I cut through the mix a little better, but everything is pretty good as it is.

Yeah vocals would be good! Anyone can do instrumentals but vocals will really make your tracks distinct for people.

Well it's not so much that, but his songs are very clearly written meant to have vocals in them. I was just wondering if he'd be able to do that. I would love to hear them completely finished.

Yeah, this is the biggest thing for me right now. Otherwise I really admire your work, especially as someone who's only recently starting to get into mixing.
